Microsoft founder Bill Gates is among the latest names added to the growing list of celebrities and officials who’ve had their credit reports hacked in recent days.

Hackers who’ve stolen the personal information of Michelle Obama, FBI Director Robert Mueller and Vice President Joe Biden now claim to have obtained Gates’ information. His credit report and personal information belonging to 28 other notable people have been posted on a website maintained by the hacker group.

Earlier this week, the Justice Department announced the FBI is investigating the site in an effort to determine who is behind the intrusions, according to an Associated Press report.

Hackers have targeted Jay-Z and Beyonce, as well as Mel Gibson, Ashton Kutcher, Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton. Info posted about Biden and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did not include credit reports but included addresses and other sensitive information.

The site, which bears an Internet suffix originally assigned to the Soviet Union, has been expanding throughout the week. No further clues to the site’s operators’ identities or their aims were readily apparent.

Several of the purported credit reports appear to have been generated last week, according to The Associated Press. Some pages featured unflattering pictures of the celebrities or government officials whose information was posted.
